Abstract
A portable cooler comprises an insulated container formed by parallel opposing sides including front and back walls, first and second sides, and a lid and a floor, and handles attached to the front and rear walls. First and second wide-tread wheels disposed on an axle extending between the first and second sides of a wheel recess formed in the lower portion of the rear wall, wherein the wheels occupy substantially the entire space between the first and second sides. An alternate embodiment disposes a single, barrel-shaped wheel within the wheel recess. The cooler is especially adapted for rolling and maneuvering over uneven or very soft terrain.
